Evian midfielder Daniel Wass has claimed that he is open to a move to the Premier League in the new year with Liverpool and Chelsea thought to be favourites for his signature, the Daily Express reports.

The 25-year-old was linked with a move to Liverpool at the beginning of the summer, but a bid failed to materialise as the Reds prioritised the £25m signing of Adam Lallana.

However, Brendan Rodgers is said to be ready to renew his interest in the player when the January transfer window opens following his impressive start to the Ligue 1 campaign that has seen him score four and create one.

The winger/full-back is also expected to attract some interest from Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, too.

The then Real Madrid boss personally scouted Wass during his stint at Benfica in 2012, and is understood to be highly regarded by Mourinho.

Wass himself has admitted that he will weigh up any offer that comes his way.

"My head is still in Evian but if you offer me a departure in January, I will not say no.

"I want to progress and prove my abilities at a higher level.

"But a club has to be interested to meet the requirements that Evian have."
